Ok Im going to argue only with this point (its not the only bit I strongly disagree with but its uhhh one of the worst)

how can you think that same sex couples have always had the same marriage rights as other couples. Same sex marriage was only relatively recently legalised in the UK (and US as well I think)

and if you say "oh they can always go abroad to get married" then its still not the same marriage rights, are you seriously saying that being forced to leave the country in order to have a marriage is having the same marriage rights as being able to be married pretty much wherever you want? (Hawkinsnightmare's point on this was also valid)






Just on an off note, I can see the argument against same sex marriage; marriage is a christian ceremony, the point of which is to have children from the married couple, of course same sex couples cannot do this and therefore the nature of marriage is different to what was intended when marriage was conceptualized.

I also dont think adoption is included in this as I think the point is that the child is conceived by the married couple.

^^^this is all only if I have correctly understood what Im on about^^^
